This reflection is part of a triptych about POSITIONING:
Where am I and how do I figure me in this world?
Here you can click all three of them:
1- what is it all about? ESSENCE
2- what comes to pass? ON THE EDGE
3- what lies ahead? LIFE EXPECTANCE
Nederlands: WEZEN-LIJK
ESSENCE
wrestling with rooting
because
not in earth
but in thing
just big enough
for living
but not for
developing
ungrounded
I sprout forth
though stunted
I reach out
getting stuck
and yet
I go on
any-way
but getting nowhere
life passes by
cheerful
relaxed
fearful
taxed
on the move
and here I
stand
of service
but not
present
in my essence
cheerful
relaxed
fearful
taxed
on the move
stand
of service
but not
present
in my essence
